Detecting Laser Scanner
Short Range
Intended use
The TiM35x/TiM36x laser scanner (referred to as the TiM
below) is an intelligent sensor for invisibly detecting objects
in areas (elds) to be monitored. The device is designed for
portable or stationary use indoors or outdoors in standalone
operation, with a scanning range of up to 10 m. The combined control for the four switching inputs activates one of the
16 eld sets for eld monitoring. Each eld set provides three
congurable elds. The TiM indicates detected eld infringements in relation to the three elds through a combination of
three switching outputs.
The TiM can also evaluate the existence of a contour, which
has to be fully situated within the evaluation eld at all times.
This allows the TiM to detect, for example, that a door opens
outwards or that the position of the TiM has changed. It is
also possible to detect someone crawling beneath a vertical
evaluation eld or a laser beam deected in a mirror.
The TiM is available in both a PNP and an NPN variant. The
NPN variant is identied by S02 in the type code on the type
label.
The purpose of this instruction manual is to allow you to put
the TiM into operation quickly and easily using precongured

Further information on the mechanical and electrical
installation is available in the & Technical Information (no.
8014318). This information is available for download on the
TiM product page (www.sick.com/tim3xx).
The TiM is certied to IEC/EN/UL/CSA 61010-1:2007. These
operating instructions may contain passages of text in a
foreign language.
Safety information
• Read these instructions before commissioning the TiM
in order to familiarize yourself with the device and its
functions.
• The TiM corresponds to laser class 1 ( see “Laser radia-
tion!, page 4”).
• Mounting and electrical installation are to be performed
only by qualied technicians.
• Electrical connections between the TiM and other devices
may only be made when there is no power to the system.
Otherwise, the devices may be damaged.
• Wire cross-sections in the supply cable from the customer's power system should be designed in accordance with
the applicable standards. Protect the TiM with an external
0.8 A slow-blow fuse at the beginning of the supply cable.
• All circuits connected to the TiM must be designed as SELV
or PELV circuits. (SELV = Safety Extra Low Voltage, PELV =
Protective Extra Low Voltage).
• Use the device only under permitted environmental
conditions (e.g. temperature, grounding potential, see
“Technical data, page 4”).
• Protect the TiM against moisture and dust when the cover
to the USB socket is open. The black plastic cover must
be screwed ush in order to comply with enclosure rating
IP 67 in operation.
• Turn the swivel connector unit with the electrical connections max 180° from end position to end position.
• Opening the screws of the TiM housing will invalidate any
warranty claims against SICK AG.
• The TiM does not constitute personal protection equipment in accordance with the respective applicable safety
standards for machines.
Commissioning and conguration
Step 1: Electrical installation
1. Connect the communication interface of the TiM to the
PC (Ethernet or USB; recommended Ethernet, 4-pin M12
female connector).
> If using a USB, connect the TiM's Micro USB port (behind
the black plastic cover on the side) to a free USB port (type
A) on the PC using a suitable shielded high-speed USB
cable (e.g. no. 6036106, 2 m).
The USB cable must not exceed 3 m in length!
When operating the USB interface, be aware that ESD/
EMC inuences may break the USB connection. To re-establish the data transmission, remove the USB cable on
the TiM and plug it back into the contact. To re-establish
communication between TiM and PC in the SOPAS conguration software, select
CommuniCation > Go online.
2. Turn on and start the PC.
3. Provide power to the TiM (12-pin M12 male connector).
Using the power supply unit it must be ensured that the
supply voltage does not drop below 8 V for longer than
2 ms and never rises above 30 V.
Following successful initialization, the green LED lights up

1. Optional: Mount the TiM to separately ordered mounting
accessories (mounting kit 2), see "Mounting" Chapter in
the & Technical Information (no. 8014318).
2. Otherwise, mount the two straight plates from the
enclosed mounting kit 1 on the TiM using two M3 screws.
Use the two blind-hole threads either on the underside or
back of the housing ( see “Device layout, page 3”). If
the straight plates are not used, screw the screws provided
by the customer max. 2.8 mm into the thread.
3. Mount the TiM on a prepared bracket.
The device should be as free from vibration as possible
during operation.
4. Align the 90° axis of the TiM's scanning angle with the
center of the area to be monitored. The
lid of the optical hood serves as a bearing alignment aid
( see “Device layout, page 3”).

a. Conguration without PC
90°
Here, the TiM provides two options:
• Using one of 16 default eld sets, each with 3 predened
elds having the same eld shape, but different sizes
• Teach-in of the surrounding contour to automatically gener-
ate the outer eld with any shape, including more complex
shapes, and to deduce the two inner elds.
The eld sets are organized by groups into segmented eld
shapes. The shapes can be modied, with the default being a
rectangle. In the factory setting, the 3 origin-oriented elds of
a set are nested inside one another.
• The TiM stores the shortest value measured during the
teach-in phase as a eld limit for each angle.
• Note: A parameter upload is required in order to display
the newly taught-in eld contour in SOPAS.

2. Start the "Single Device" program option after completing
the installation.
Path: Start > Programs > SICK > SOPAS Engineering Tool >
SOPAS (Single Device).
SOPAS will automatically install the necessary USB driver
the rst time it detects a connected TiM. It may then be
necessary to restart the PC.
3. Establish a connection between SOPAS and TiM via the
wizard which opens automatically. Select the TiM from the
list of available devices.

Preparing for teach-in
In general, the function button and both LEDs on the device
are used for teach-in.
• Remove all objects that will not permanently be in the eld
of view in monitoring mode later on.
• Distance yourself sufciently from the TiM during the
advance warning phase of the teach-in, so that you are not
detected as part of the eld contour.
Teaching-in the eld contour
The TiM uses eld set 1 (segmented, initial shape: rectangle)
to adjust the eld shape and size to the surrounding contour
that was detected. The switching inputs may not be supplied
with current during this process.
The TiM forms the outer eld 3 from the surrounding contour
with a negative offset of 100 mm, and deduces the limits
of the two inner elds from this, so that eld 2 = eld 1 plus
25% and eld 3 = eld 1 plus 52%.
• The eld shape to be formed can be dened by pacing out
the limits during the teach-in phase. Do not wear black
clothing during this process!

b. Conguration with PC
The SOPAS conguration software is used by default to adjust
the 3 elds of a eld set and other TiM parameters to the ap-
plication and to perform diagnostics in the event of an error.
If the eld shape of the eld set 1 has been taught in without
a PC using the function button, SOPAS is generally used to
continue the conguration.
This includes setting the eld shapes/sizes and any other
non-teachable eld sets based on the default setting, the
response time of the elds, the blanking size, and the holding
time of the assigned switching outputs OUT 1 ... OUT 3.
The blanking size is the smallest size from which an object
can be detected in a eld by the TiM and lead to a eld
infringement. All objects that are smaller than the minimum
size are blanked out. Like the response time and the holding
time, the blanking size applies to all eld sets and their elds.
Installing and launching the SOPAS conguration software
1. Download and install on the PC the software from the
website "www.sick.com/SOPAS_ET“. In this case, select
the "Complete" option as suggested by the install wizard.
Administrator rights may be required on the PC to install
the software.
Field monitor display window
• In the Field monitor window, SOPAS displays the eld
contour (scan line) currently seen by the device through
ambient reection in blue. If the 4 switching inputs are
not supplied with current, SOPAS also displays the three
evaluation elds (segmented rectangles) for the eld set
1 according to the TiM's default setting, or the eld shape
generated using the teach-in function along with its dimensions, the status of the switching inputs/outputs, and the
position of the mouse pointer.
• SOPAS displays the elds as green if no eld infringement
is present. If objects of a certain size ( see “Default set-
tings TiM, page 3”) are located for a certain duration
in the part of the visual range that is covered by elds,
the TiM will recognize this as a eld infringement. SOPAS
displays this separately in yellow for the individual elds.

The user can change parameters in the right part of the program window under
settinGs & deviCe status. SOPAS immedi-
ately transfers these changes to the TiM (default setting).
However, evaluation elds that have been changed in size and
shape must always be manually transferred to the TiM using
button. All changed parameters are only temporarily
the
stored in the device for the time being and are not stored in
the computer at all.
